The coffee returns! After a frantic month of convention-eering, Jon sits down with a nice, relaxing mug of stimulant to reflect on his recent experiences behind the table with Big Punch Studios. Looking for the pros and cons of various cons around the UK? (Ooh, wordplay!) Look no further.
Big Punch Studios sit down to provide the commentary track no one asked for for The Incredibles (2004). Possibly the greatest superhero movie ever made...? Discuss.
Take my love, take my land, take me where I cannot stand... you know, like a sofa, where the Big Punch Studios team (Nich, Jon, Lucy and Ali) have gathered for Episode 2 of Moviewords, in which we sit down and blather over Joss Whedon's seminal work: Serenity (2005).
Long before there was Big Punch Studios there was simply Big Punch, a daft comic made by three dafter kids in primary school. Years later, Jon, Rayman and Titch gather to discuss life, the universe and a misspent youth. However, in this, the most random first episode ever, Rayman and Jon sit down to provide an unnecessary commentary track for Return of the Jedi (1983). Future episodes will be nothing like this, we swear!
Big Punch Studios assemble on the sofa of power for the first ever episode of Moviewords: a commentary track for The Matrix (1999)! Did we have anything to do with the making of this movie? Nope. Is that going to stop us talking about it? Hells no! TECHNICAL DIFFICULTIES! Whoops! Sadly, our recording equipment corrupted between 1:14:28 and 1:41:13. We've left a blank space during this section so that, if you're listening to this over the movie, it'll remain in synch. If you're just listening to this as a podcast, feel free to fastforward through this section.
This week, Scott is joined by one of the minds behind Big Punch Studios, Jon Lock. And boy do they have a lot to talk about. From their amazing comics to their intriguing podcasts, there's no end to the things these two could talk about. Which is probably why they also go on about wood pigeons and patronising religious advertisements. This is a weird show we have here. Check out Big Punch Studios and The Comics Summit!
